-Chapter 4-

They looked up to see Riko in the doorway, her mouth agape and eyes wide in shock.

Onodera gasped and roughly pushed Takano off of him. Riko kept opening and closing her mouth, trying to find something to say. "R-Riko! I-Its n-not….Um…I-I...," Onodera stumbled for words as he became visibly pale. Riko's face grew angry and she drew a sharp breath.

Stomping over to Onodera, she pulled her hand back and slapped Onodera across the face. He landed on the floor, caressing his now red cheek. Takano just stood by, shocked and clueless. Normally he would go to Onodera's rescue, but this was family. This was as entirely different situation and he didn't know what to do.

"R-Riko-chan…," Onodera whimpered pitifully, fear evident in his eyes. Riko towered over him, her arms crossed and eyes shining green fire.

"Onodera Ritsu," Riko growled so fiercely, even Takano took a step back, "how dare you. Why did you not tell me! I'm your sister for Christ's sake!"

Onodera still sat on the ground, shaking.

"You being...being a homosexual is…that's…just," She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "that is….just…is just….amazing!"

Both Onodera and Takano blinked as her face changed completely. Now she looked like a child on Christmas morning, her eyes lit and a blinding smile.

"You're gay and you expect me to ignore that?! Who do you think I am Ritsu?"

"I-I…Um," He slowly got off the ground, confusion etched all over his face.

"What department do you think I work in?"

"Uh…shounen?"

Riko giggled and replied, "How dense can you be Nii-chan? I work in BL!"

Now it was Onodera's turn to look shocked. His jaw dropped to the floor and he exclaimed, "B-BL?! Like Boys' Love?"

"Well, duh! I mean, I always had my suspicions about you and Takano. But I thought maybe I was being paranoid, so I blew it off. Since I'm right, I can't ignore it! My brother, my twin brother, is gay! You have no idea how much that means to me. Thank you for the early birthday present, Nii-chan," Riko giggled again and it turned into a squeal. Onodera noticed she was starting to get a nosebleed.

"Riko, I thought...maybe that you wouldn't like me being…"

"What? Just because I'm stoic at night, doesn't mean I'm close-minded Ritsu. I still love you! Oh, is Takano the same person from high school?"

"W-what? You still remember that?" Onodera looked over to Takano who was chuckling.

"I can't forget my brother's first love. And apparently only love," Riko smirked and ruffled Onodera's hair. They saw Kisa walk in talking on the phone. Riko hugged Ritsu and lightly patted his cheek.

"I'm sorry for slapping you. You have to tell me all the details later," Riko's eyes twinkled and Onodera gasped.

"N-No, That's just weird! Please don't tell anyone!"

"Oh, of course not. This is for my own secret enjoyment," Riko whispered the last part and ran out. Onodera gawked as Takano tried to desperately hold back laughter. Kisa snapped his phone shut and raised his eyebrows.

"Richan, you look like you saw a ghost," Kisa laughed and sat down, getting back to work.

"So….I like your sister."

"Shut up! I-I didn't even know she was into that kind of stuff! Nice to know that my boyfriend and my sister are perverted," Onodera mumbled but Takano heard. He smiled and grabbed his hand. They were walking home from the train station. Onodera's phone suddenly beeped and he fished it out of his pocket.

To: Onodera Ritsu

From: Onodera Riko

Hey Onii-san, I'm at your place. I have to talk to you. It's not about your relationship.

"Damn," Onodera grumbled. He really didn't want to deal with stoic Riko right know. He quickly typed a reply and sighed, throwing his phone back into his pocket.

"What is it?"

"My sister is outside my apartment. She said she wanted to talk to me about something."

"Really?" Takano smirked and squeezed his hand. Onodera rolled his eyes and heatedly replied, "It's not about us, pervert."

Finally getting up the hill and into their complex, they rode the seemingly time-consuming elevator. They reached their floor and sure enough, Riko was standing there in front of his door. She turned and Onodera saw the smallest trace of a smile when she saw them holding hands, but didn't comment further on the affection. He also saw something small and long in her arms. They came closer and Onodera noticed it was a dog.

"Konbanwa. I have a favor to ask you Onii-san. It involves Momo."

"Momo?" Onodera looked back down at the little dog in her arms. It's fur was a rusty brown color with a single white patch on its lower back, in the shape of a peach. The dog had large, beautiful chocolate brown eyes that sparkled.

"My dachshund, Momo," Riko held Momo up and they saw it was a female.

"I've had Momo-chan since she was a puppy. She's only a year-and-a-half old but she's trained. Can you please watch her for awhile?"

"Watch? Why?"

"Since I came back to Japan, I've been living with a friend. I can tell Momo isn't happy living in such a small apartment and I don't want to torture her. I want you to watch her until I get an apartment of my own and I settle in. Right now, Momo-chan deserves better than me. My problems and living situation were putting stress on her and she was sick for a while. I know you have a hectic life too, but your apartment is bigger and you don't have night-terrors and mood swings. So can you please take care of her?" Riko pleaded and Onodera knew she really cared for the dog.

"But is Momo-chan really going to be happy living with me? I mean, I'm always in and out of my apartment," He blushed slightly at what he was hinting. (A/N: Ha, in and out of Takano's apartment!)

"She's used to me being gone a lot. Momo is very sweet and quiet; I promise she won't be any trouble. She's potty-trained and can do some tricks too. Look," She set Momo down and pointed two fingers at her in a gun.

"Bang!" Riko pretended to shoot her and Momo rolled over on her back, playing dead. Onodera and Takano smiled at how cute the little act was.

"Please?" Riko begged.

It looked as if both Riko and Momo were giving Onodera puppy-dog eyes. He lost the fight and sighed, "Fine."

Riko genuinely smiled and picked Momo back up. She passed her to Onodera's arms and bowed to both of them.

"Doumo arigatō Onii-san. I'm sure you and Momo-chan will be great friends," She bowed once again and scratched Momo behind the ears.

"Don't miss me too much, little girl," She licked Riko's hand and yapped lightly. Riko gave her a pat on the head and said, "I left her stuff in a bag by the door. I owe you Ritsu, goodbye."

She gave them a fleeting smile and left as quick as she said goodbye. Ritsu opened his door as Takano grabbed the bag. He crouched down and scratched Momo's back while Takano put their stuff in the living room. She wagged her tail in delight and licked Onodera's face. He smiled and sighed again, but this time in contentment.

Muhahaha, did I scare you guys in the beginning? I like to torture my readers, haha. XD Sorry if my story is mushed together. I actually try to put a line so you know when the time/setting changes within the story, but it disappears. :P

Now there's a new addition to the family: Momo-chan! Just imagine a really cute dachshund with a white peach-shaped patch on her back. (Momo = Peach)

Yeah, I know Takano didn't talk or do much in this chapter. He was just a bystander mostly. Sorry Takano, I love you! XD

Ritsu's birthday is coming up in my fic, either next chapter or the one after. Riko will definitely have something planned and will help set the mood between Onodera and Takano. You just love Riko, don't you? X3

Anyways, I will see you next chapter! Please review, favorite, and follow! :)

(Remember, any ideas for this story, please share!)
